What type of Wooden Matches to buy?

Re: What type of Wooden Matches to buy?

Not sure how many types there are out there (west) but in the east we have Redbird wooden matches and they absolutely suck, imo. But, they're cheap so they're easy to keep on hand.
I've had the best luck with duMaurier mathces and whatever the B&M gives out with cigars. The Redbird's fall apart constantly and don't light worth a darn. I prefer to use my jetlight first, a strip of cedar second and wooden matches as a last resort.

These are the ones I get at my B&M. I'm holding out for a really nice soft flame lighter, so in the meantime I've been getting pretty proficient in the use of these long matches. They're about 4 inches long, and it usually takes me 3 to toast the foot of my smokes.

I am going to have to cast my vote for Davidoff cigar matches. I am not the biggest fan of Davidoff but their matches are pretty damn good. They smell wonderful so you don't have to worry about tainting your cigar with a bad taste.

I have not used a match in ages because the propane lighter is so much easier. I do still have Kitchen matches from the dollar store that I used to use. You know like the red diamond brand. Of course I have a whole box full of box matches from CI because they stuck a box in evry package I ordered.
